Description: Dramatizes the basic elements involved in conflict between people of differing cultural backgrounds with the animated story of two men--one who lives in an electronic world and spends his time oiling his computers and machines, and one who lives in a garden world and plants, waters, and tends his flowers. Focuses on the differences between the two men when a flower grows through the floor of the first man's computer room and, frightened and angry, he kills it with oil. Develops this theme further when a computer tape rolls into the second man's garden and, surprised and annoyed, he jumps on it until it is destroyed. Ends with the meeting of the two men where they at first try to impose their personal values on the other but finally come to know and appreciate each other's differences and sit together peacefully.
